I see your point but disagree..It is very accessable to elementary school kids..sad but true, and if it was legalized the folks who wanted to smoke could grow their own, you fail to mention all the decent folks who have been arrested or jailed for simple possesion that ruined their life.. I am sure everyone has done something they regret in life, but not everyone goes to jail for it..it is simply stupid to prosecute marijuana...However, cocaine , heroin, prescription addictions need to be met with an aggressive rehab program, mixed with some skill building so folks who have become addicts have a way to make a living..
Dealers of cocaine and heroin should go to jail..
I don’t see the social problems you speak of, As I said, I am a Chriostian, I do not do drugs, I do not solicit prostitutes, But I have known people who smoked who you would never know did..It is a shame to treat adults with such arrogant disrespect for their freedom, to tailor their lifestyle to someone elses opinion of how they should live their life.,.
Amsterdam is a nice large city, I enjoyed the Van Gogh and Tropics museums, it is not some scummy back room Mogadishu hellhole.. I am not a big city guy, but some of our cities look much worse..
If pot were legal and I wanted to smoke it I sure would wait six months or more to grow it. I’d go and buy it at some store. Who brews their own beer instead of just going to a liquor store?
